Sandy Coins

For once, I felt like wearing a discreet mani without having to, nude polish without a business meeting (yes, even I don't always want to wear blue, green or purple...)

As base color I used Kleancolor Sandstone, a a neutral shimmer polish. As beautiful as Kleancolor polishes are, I'm not really happy with the quality. The brush is a mess, it fans out in a tousled A line which makes it very hard to polish your nails and not your cutiles, and the polish really stinks. Plus, drying time is aweful, without topcoat it takes forever and a day to dry...

On top of Sandstone I added one coat of Million Lacquers Grape Coins, a clear abse with fuchsia microglitter, small white hexes and large yellow/gold hexes. The large hexes were a little stubborn, I had to fish them out of the bottle one by one. As you can see, I have a mini bottle, maybe they come out easier of the regular sized one.

For a smooth finish I added one coat of Essence Better Than Gel Nails Top Sealer.

Million Lacquers don't seem to exist anymore, I couldn't find anything about them with Google...

What a sweet and delicate mani - yet on the second glance you see all that edginess with the glitter constrasting the base! I never heard of Kleancolor and nit to my loss it seems, as for the Indie brand - this is what makes the game so special - you can really get very unique stuff that is gone the other week - you really have an awesome treasure grove <3

Not knowing Kleancolor is certainly no loss. Their color range is really beautiful, but there are lots of other brands with better quality.

And what you say about indie brands is so true, that's why it's so hard to restrain myself when it comes to buying polish. With indies you never know if the brand still exists and sells tomorrow or next week or in six months...
